Came here at about 3pm so there was no lunch rush and the dinner crowd hasn't exactly arrived. Friendly staff and very generous serving. Got the beef shawarma with rice and salad and it was delicious!!
Great food , and very good and friendly service .The table chatter dwindles noticeably when the food arrives , and even though it can get pretty busy , I have never had to wait too long . Very reasonably priced !!
My wife and two sons visited here after a footy game. We ordered the platter for two and it was awesome. I really loved the garlic dip YUM. Everything was fresh and tasty. My wife ordered a bottle of wine and got a glass instead. The owner came out and gave us a choice of two wines to try - the one we ordered and another by the same maker - and let us both do a quick wine tasting at no extra charge on top of giving us the original glass free. Really nice service and prompt and attentive. Thank you - we will be back!
Brilliant food! My husband and I had dinner here two nights ago and it was fantastic. Quick service and fabulous flavours in the food. My husband said it is the best meal he has had at a restaurant!
A Middle Eastern restaurant which makes its own Falafel is always one to be commended. Baba Ganouj's version is fresh tasting with the right texture and crunch; can do with a bit more cumin and other spices though. Rest of food: Shwarma, Kibbi, Persian rice, was executed well and the prices reasonable. I shall be back to sample more.
We were looking for a place to have a rather late dinner and we saw this gem in Little Stanley St. My partner and I ordered the mixed grill and chicken wings and we loved everything! Meat was grilled to perfection, chicken wings was very flavorful.. the flatbread was delicious, the tabouli had the right amount of tanginess to it. Quick service and our server was very friendly! We were the last customers there but we didn’t feel like we were rushed. Good food, excellent service and great value for money! Will definitely come back.
What an amazing experience! This was my first time to try lebanese food. I decided to give baba ganouj a try since they have a good rating. My choice was beef shawarma plate for 18$. It came as marinated beef with tahini sauce with wrap bread (dont know how to say it), chips and salad. Beef was tasty and made a nice combination with the tahini sauce. I really like their wrap bread. Staff was also nice and friendly. A great place to have your meal.
Friendly and brisk service, and delicious Lebanese food, this place is definitely worth a visit. The wraps are very good with bread freshly made on the premises on the saj, a large iron dome which is directly heated from below. They even serve Lebanese beer!
I love to come to this restaurant because they make fresh and hot bread in front of you,it’s cozy and nice and you feel comfortable soon you go in always when I go there I got welcomed from Sally and Sayed with their nice big smile my favorite food is shawarma
Fresh, simple food done well. The menu had a good variety of dishes to satisfy most people. The service was excellent & friendly. Will definitely be going back for more!
Casual dining is enjoyable. The mixed platter was delicious although could have had larger servings of Tabouli and dips. It's very nice food, perhaps a tad overpriced. But paying for the location
Fresh and delicious food, polite staff and the new location is much better for sit down meals. I've only had the opportunity to have breakfast here which has been great. We will certainly be returning for dinner to try out the other dishes. Yum!
My wife and I just had the most amazing meal here. On top of fantastic fresh food, the service is awesome, so friendly! We would defiantly recommend this restaurant to everyone. We will certainly be back.

A little corner place on southbank that serves authentic and flavoursome cusine. Their platters and wraps are really good. The bread for the wraps is made fresh to order and done really well. The food@ is really yummy.
Good presentation as well and a service with a smile. Always keep coming back to this place and consistency is always great.
The pastries with different fillings are amazing and complement other offerings.
Keep coming back to this place over and ovef again. Slightly on the expensive side... but worth it.

Really enjoyed my meal at Baba Ganouj.
The food was nicely presented and had great flavor.
I began with the Cheese Sambusek, which was a golden brown, filled with cheese and delicious. This rated a 4.
For my main, I enjoyed the Chicken Shawarma Lebanese Wrap on Saj Bread. They went slightly off script with the contents, replacing tomatoes with pickles, but it worked. The only issue was that the coleslaw and sauce were a bit too wet , which led to quite a puddle on the wooden platter. Still, this rated a 3.5-4.
I don't know why I've bypassed Baba Ganouj so many times in the past...I will definitely return.
Yum yum yum yum yum.
Beautiful food made with TLC. I could have eaten all night. The grills were tender. The dips were delicious (too small perhaps). The tabouli was perfect. The hospitality of the owners was palpable.
The only negative is that the setting was not as great as everything else.
Yum yum yum.
Basic ambiance ...original Lebanese food ...freshly made bread ..nice shawarma ,humus and the garlic dip ....nice food ...only con is ....we have to wait for the food as it is made fresh
Amazing food. Super fresh and great portion sizes. The bread is just gorgeous and they make it on site, fresh to order! The meats were cooked perfectly, amazingly juicy and tender. DH was obsessed with the baba ganouj, he ate mine too.
Lovely people work there and the food is presented just beautifully.
Would have gotten a 5/5 if the tabouli was bigger.
I haven't eaten here yet but I get coffee here regularly. They offer friendly service and the food looks and smells delicious. Customers always seem happy when they leave after their meal. I will have a meal here one day soon.
Came here a year and a half or so ago when the filming of San Andreas was happening in Brisbane. Myself and the rest of the extras had to sit in this restaurant and wait to be called. It was winter and they kept each of this place's many doors wide open, meaning it was a completely freezing experience.Having said that though, they did serve us finger foods occasionally, and whenever I managed to overcome the mad rush to the serving plate and get something for myself, I was really pretty darn pleased with it.
Based on the entrees alone, I would give this place my recommendation - just make sure you bring a coat in case you're sensitive to the cold :P
Beirut, 1987, I was up with my homies and their hotted up Toyota Corolla. It was dark and somehow I ended up at this place eating a mix grilled that reminded me of the dark bitter days. The meal tastes like it did in Beirut between the napalm storm, the tender meat soaked in the spices of life mixed with the usual hommous and dips, crazy ass techno middle eastern music, and all the tastiest zaatars that my torned up dollars can get. Like before, you don't make friends with salad. I tried, and it was regrettable as usual.
Understated presentation means we've often overlooked this shop when looking for places to eat at SouthBank. Decided to get a beef shwarma wrap today, and it was delicious. Served hot, firmly wrapped so the ingredients didn't fall out, a good amount of well-spiced meat, vegetables, and generous lashings of sauce.. It's good stuff.
Yum! Mediterranean salad was fresh and delicious. Chicken tenderloin was spicy and.... tender.
Good value and fast service.
Coming back tmw.
First time eating here. Had an AMAZING chicken wrap with potato, cold slaw and garlic sauce. I'm usually extremely picky as well especially with middle eastern food. Top notch customer service too.
Enjoyed a fantastic beef shawarma and coffee. Service is great as well. Good size serving without being over-the-top and well priced. I'll come again.
I'm in hospital and asked my husband to get me food from here because it sounded good. It is! It was so good I sent him back 3 days in a row for lamb saj. On the third day I missed breakfast and lunch so asked him to pick up a Zaatar special saj as well as a lamb saj. Unfortunately, it was full of grit. Not just one of two pieces, in every single bite. Must have been a dud batch of Zaatar. I won't lie, it was still better than hospital food (if a bit on the salty side) so I ate most of it and just chewed carefully and spat out the big bits of grit, but I value my dentition too much to risk eating Zaatar here again! I'll be back as often as I can for a lamb saj, though. It's so good that all is forgiven!
Friendly service and ymy food. WoW sweets .. I tried the mixed platter and Leb breakfast.. Both nice.. Next time I am looking to try the Shawrma
Well done. Prices are decent and fair in comparison to the quality and quantity of food. The tabouli salad should probably be a side rather than a dish. The wraps are delicious and a must get. Staff are humble and friendly.
Try this place out for breakfast!! It's so well priced, especially compared to other places in South Bank.
FREAKING AMAZING.... We enjoyed this place so much on the weekend that just past... We are still talking about our visit. WE LOVED the saj - both chicken and lamb. We also loved the home made babaganoush and labeh.. DELISH. Our kids loved it too.
Gotta say, I'm middle eastern myself and have the tendency to be a bit picky at times. NOT THIS TIME.
Amazing.
The Garlic Chicken Saj is the Bomb!. Absolutely beautiful food served by cheerful staff. Will be back again to try more!
Fresh and Healthy. Fresh saj cooked to prefection and finished off with a taboulli salad. Extremely healthy.
Yummy!! This place doesn't look like much and it's not the place for a romantic date or quiet sit down dinner... But for take away, or a quick cheap meal it's brilliant!
We wanted to try lots if stuff, mixed platter, kibbi, falafel, lady finger, hummus, tabbouleh, and the triple cheese saj. Mixed platter was very good, meat was flavoursome and tender, tabbouleh great, kibbi was good too... Really all was tastey with exception if the falafel.
The Coffee!. The coffee was amazing, and continues to be amazing each and every time I go there! The first time I went with a friend and we both fell silent whilst drinking our coffee so we could enjoy our Mocha's. I love my coffee, and find Saj &Grill's coffee to be incredibly enjoyable!
They also have lovely service there.

Saj & Grill - South Brisbane. It definitely does not look anywhere near as spry as many of its nearby competitors, but Saj & Grill has a number of charms of its own. Depending on what perspective you get, it is right at the end of that array of eateries parallell with the cinema stopping in allignment with the bus/train station (perhaps a semi-advantage) or it is just the beginning of them from the scenic few in South Bank around the river and gardens. Needless to say, this may be one of the most real and realised places to eat along this stretch.
Many people are familar with the late-night kebab joints, a lot of the time not in such a glowing way. Saj & Gril is different from that in that it is quite healthy and you taste ingredients other than grease. I went here with my dining buddy and both of us got a saj each; they came spilt in two thus making sharing easy.
A saj is a traditional Lebanese dish where the bread is cooked in a dome shaped oven and then infused with herbs. It is topped with various kinds of ingredients (from this place you can get sweet options) and it is served like a calzone.
It was early to mid- afternoon so they were out of a few ingredients and certain drinks. They could not do many of their juices (eliminating the one I was looking at) or the lemonade but they could do milkshakes and coffee. My dining buddy got a chocolate milkshake (from the sip I had, this actually was quite good with a thickish and creamy texture with a decent flavour) and I got a double-shot espresso.
The espresso was served quite quickly - enough for me to mention how fast it was. The guy serving us was good natured and said he was doing it while he talking with me and my dining buddy.
In speaking of that, this guy was really friendly and had the average Joe appeal about him. He was welcoming, had quite an accent on him and really knew how to run the business. The service was amazing - for a place that is almost just a stall this is nearly Michelin star equivalent service. It is worth going there for him alone.
Anyways, I had their special - the Za'atar special which was simply the za'atar herb (oregano, thyme and olive oil) with the additions of tomato, cucumber, olives, labneh (a yoghurt-like sauce from the Middle East) and mint. This was essentially a salad, but it felt substantial and had such a good variety of flavours. They really utilsed the ingredients well and it might be one of the best specific vegetarian options around the town.
My dining buddy got the garlic chicken with had homemade garlic sauce, cheese, olives, avocado (by request), mushrooms and onion. The most outstanding aspect of this was that the might was distinguishable and hardy chicken - a good use of breast meat in being chunky and absorbing the sauce into the flesh. The cheese and other ingredients were also good and could actually be distinguished.
The espresso they serve here is really strong; so they know their audience in terms of coffee.
This was such a good find. I will certainly return many more times here bringing other people for the food. It is all baked to order and in eating it I could see that it truely was. With all sorts of saj varities and a juice bar this is a place that has not seen the last of me especially on my own.
Awesome lunchtime grub. You can't go wrong with a saj or a wrap or a salad or... Staff are super friendly and service is quick. Lamb saj with some extras is my favourite.
Could this be one of the most under-rated places in Brisbane? Well, it seems to have a modest yet loyal fan base so that might not be the right word to use. Maybe a better way to be it is under-recognised? Yes! That word suits what I am going for. It is worthy of the praise that it gets, and for more reason than having good food, coffee and service.
I really enjoy Middle Eastern food, I've had this place on my radar for ages but its opening times are really odd so I've never managed it. I decided to go here for a solo breakfast one day, just out of boredom. Mmm this place This place was absolutely freaking freezing, even when I sat on the inside. I can't even emphasise how cold it was that day, I couldn't feel my face. Grahhh Here is their menu! This is their little set up, its a very simple little place, a front counter, menus on the cupboards and the saj oven in the corner. The Saj! Small! I picked the chicken saj, it was made out of marinated garlic chicken tenderloin, olives, mushroom, cheese and onion. The saj was a flexible, lightly golden brown but slightly fluffy flat bread. I got an option of homemade hot sauce or sweet chilli sauce and I went with the hot sauce. It was so scorching hot that I couldn't really enjoy the rest of the saj, it was a sweet, fruity and yet super spicy sauce. I was panting so hard in between bit
The Saj is a traditional Lebanese bread cooked on a clay dome oven and the taste is just delicious. It’s really tasty, light, and flavoursome. The filling was also delicious. Fantastic!
